Comments, Questions & Reviews:
How long am i covered? by AnthonyW
I am wanting to buy this motherboard for a build im planning while you have it in stock and at the best price anywhere on the internet! My only concern is i won't be building my computer for a while. Since i cannot test the item till i have my other components how long would i have to return the item if it was defective?
If it was defective, you can return it any time under its warranty, but after 28 from the purchase date, it goes back to manufacturer.
New Gaming PC Build by Ivan
Hi there,
The last few weeks i`m trying to pick the best pc components ( as far as my budget allows me that is...) and build a new mid-range gaming rig. So far i have came to this:
#47105 or #45383 or #49255 witch will be the perfect one for thees components? Witch i`ll get the most of?
#47105
#46959
#48125
#49079 - soon it will be crossfire.
#48433 - is it enough or too much?
Or show me a complete different and better build @ this price range? Fell free! :)
So.. thats it guys what do you think - I really need a professional opinion.. I`m open to ideas and tips.
I recently found about this website from the google engine and i find it great! The massive store you guys have, the great customer support and most importantly the very competitive prices! So i decided to buy all my pc parts here! Plus the PayPal option is a saver!
Thanks in advance guys.
Regards
Hi, having a look at the parts you listed, my choice and changes would be
49255 - motherboard
49691 - Graphics card
47163 - Power supply
46959 - CPU
I wouldnt see much point in buying a z68 board as the z77 is a newer chipset and its always good to be up-to-date. I would also try sneeking a SSD into the mix as the prices for them now are very good and they are a massive improvement to your system 44258 would be a wise choice :)
CPU by Chris
Hey Aria
I have this motherboard and in the box it says that it can use the new ivy bridge cpus is that with a bios update?
Thanks in advance
Chris
As far as I am aware yes, a bios update is all that is needed, but check the ASUS support website for a definitive answer.
